There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

Good mathematics is not about how many answers you know... It is about how you behave when you don't know.

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

The greatest glory in loving lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end
